Just for clarity’s sake, Dark Zone instances are limited to 24 people, so in a WORST case scenario you have 20 people after your group of 4, most of which won’t be an organized group. You can usually get a good grasp of how many people are in your instance by just walking around in it for a while, and your group can…

The end-boss also drops an M1 as far as I’m aware, unless I just got lucky. But the sniper boss dropping a marksman rifle makes sense and they’re one of the better weapons at the very start if you can consistently hit weakpoints, ESPECIALLY if you’re doing Subway Morgue next - hitting a Cleaner’s gas tank with most…

Thank fucking christ. What did they change? Shooting turrets makes you go rogue now? Or turrets just don’t retaliate against non-rogue players?

The tech tree’s turret ability has been invaluable for me when I play solo. I don’t really use it to do damage to the enemy, but rather to cover one of my flanks while I personally cover the other one. Closing off 45 degrees of enemy advancement is crucial to beating tough enemy onslaughts.

Yeah, I suspect Java is just what he learned first and it’s what he’s been using the whole time. I can’t say for certain since I’m not him, but I do know that my general familiarity with Java would probably win out over a proper engine like Unity or Unreal back when I was programming more regularly in college. As it cu…

Oh no, I’m sure there’s more they could actually do - I just also know that Java is a hot mess for making games in; I’d imagine it’s something they started with and then realized they’d made something big and it’s at the point of no return.

That’s less a Minecraft thing and more a Java thing. It’s fucking incredible how much they’ve actually accomplished with it, but it blows my mind that they picked it. I guess compatibility?

I was looking for where she said it made her sick that he was prosecuted - we already established this tweet is useless in its present context, and just encourages people to look at her thesis. It’s easy at face value to go “yeah she thinks this is all something that shouldn’t be illegal” and that’s entirely her fault…

Completely free of snark, I’d love to see a source. If that’s actually been left out of the article entirely then that’s pretty big, but the tweet that’s actually visible as a part of this article doesn’t have that at all.

That one’s not a false statement though - like the article said, she said there’s a disporportionate amount of effort put toward finding abusive content compared to the absolute lack of effort devoted to finding and preventing the actual root causes of it. She didn’t specifically say the guy who had it wasn’t guilty,…

Specifically we’re talking about someone who’s gone on record saying that if we spent more time working on the causes of pedophilia and less time (not none, because seriously who the fuck would argue that in a college paper) pressuring Japan to change something that’s not inherently exploitative, we’d have less of a…

It’s a pretty beefy game, I’d imagine the number of people with compatible PCs is still smaller than the number of folks with 360/PS3 at the time the Destiny beta came out.

Destiny’s beta was equally free.

As something of a Destiny apologist - yes, this is still absolutely significant. Destiny’s the biggest game launch in history thus far, and that hype train was rolling nearly from the moment that Bungie finished work on Reach. For the Division beta to beat out Destiny’s numbers by a solid 40% on less platforms than…

I mean it literally happened with the different models of the PS3, but hey. I’m not always thrilled with Nintendo’s decisions, but they’re not allergic to money to the point where they’d intentionally lock off SNES games without a hardware reason.

These aren’t even on par with the newer generation designs. If you look at something like Chespin it doesn’t add anything unnecessary at all, starters have ALWAYS been fairly simplistic. These are a mess, though Squirtle’s isn’t all bad.

Given that these won’t be needed to get them in the new games (You can hold me to that - if it’s not compatible with at least Box I’m not buying the damn thing.) it’s objectively Bulbasaur. He has type advantage on the first two gyms, resists the third, and also resists the 4th provided you can also use non-Grass…

I got it once during the last beta as Mercy! :D Popped res on a bunch of folks at once, I’m not sure she has the same sort of showstopping potential now after the nerfs.

If I can spend $20 on a movie to see it once, I don’t think a similar price is entirely unreasonable for a game. There’s a few exceptions - I personally feel that several of the “play this once and then you can’t ever again” experimental titles ask a bit too much, but even then the same argument stands; it’s just my…

There’s a lot of truth to that complaint, but the alternative is having a sport that is dominated entirely by a single region, where the achievements of lesser teams and players are meaningless because their ultimate failure is assured. That’s not an exciting story to watch, and it’s an unbelievably discouraging…
